Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 342 presents yet another version of "a family of three".

"Jeongyeon unnie, come with us!"

Kim Minjung remembers that older sister.

Last time, when she and Mingyan wanted to learn cooking, it was Yu Dingyan who came to help. She's a really cool girl.

"Yes, Jeongyeon also wants to buy a house, so let's go take a look together." Mingyan and her niece were clearing away the dishes together, their lives still going well.

There still needs to be a child in the family; this has brought a lot of life to the family over the past year.

After they finished tidying up, the two went back to their room to change clothes.

After they came out, they looked at each other simultaneously.

Finally, Mingyan spoke first: "Minjung, when did you buy this dress?"

"Just a few days ago, Jimin unnie, Ningning, and I went shopping together." Kim Minjung said, turning around as she spoke, "Doesn't it look good?"

"It is beautiful, indeed."

Mingyan just felt that something was not quite right.

He wandered around for a couple of minutes, then went up and untied his niece's hair before nodding in satisfaction.

That's how it should be.

"Uncle, why are you dressed so handsomely?" Kim Minjung voiced his doubts, noting that Mingyan's outfit was quite different from his usual style.

"Uncle, I've always been this handsome."

"That seems to make sense."

"Let's go, Jeongyeon will be getting impatient soon."

He had to drive to Twice's dorm to pick up Jeongyeon. I wonder how Jeongyeon is feeling right now.

As it turned out, Mingyan's guess was indeed correct. Yu Jungyeon had been gritting her teeth and waiting downstairs for someone's arrival, but after getting into the car and seeing Kim Minjung, she managed to force a smile: "Minjung, hello."

"Hello Jeongyeon unnie."

See? Bringing a child along definitely has its advantages. Even if someone is angry, they won't vent it in front of Kim Minjung.

"Jeongyeon, I'll have to trouble you today." As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, and Mingyan exemplified this perfectly.

"Hehe, no trouble at all." The second sister glared at someone's face, which was good-looking but otherwise useless: "You've already found Nayeon unnie, what else can I say?"

The two people seemed to be talking about the same thing, but their thoughts were completely different.

Mingyan's thought was, "If you want to compete with me for a woman, you'd better give up. The sea of ​​suffering is boundless; turn back before it's too late."

Yoo Jeongyeon was marveling at this guy's audacity. Knowing full well that Lim Nayeon liked him, he still managed to get her to come out through that older sister—what did that mean...?

Could it be that he's implying to himself that he cares more about you than Lim Na-yeon?
Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw, this world must be insane.

"Jeongyeon unnie, my uncle keeps telling me how amazing you are. With you around, we can save a lot of trouble."

Kim Minjung always manages to play a crucial role at key moments; the moment she opened her mouth, she drew Yoo Jeongyeon's attention away from Myung-yeon.

The second sister whispered, "It's not that exaggerated, it's just that I see it more often online."

"No way! You taught me to dance, you taught me how to cook, and now you can teach me how to choose a house!" Kim Minjung is a smart kid; he even knows how to flatter Yoo Jeongyeon.

My second sister is the type who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

Sure enough, with Kim Minjung around, the journey was much more harmonious, and the only sound inside the car was the chattering of the two girls.

Yoo Jeongyeon is a very gentle person. She speaks softly and patiently to Kim Minjung, completely unlike the aloof and tough person she was when facing Mingyan.

Mingyan had already arranged for Zheng Yuanlong to meet with a real estate agent, and he drove directly there to meet him.

"Hello, Mr. Ming." The real estate agent, who looked to be in his early thirties, politely invited them in.

As major clients, the three of them received excellent treatment, including expensive coffee and small desserts.

According to real estate agents, celebrities like Ming Yan, who are currently very popular, tend to spend lavishly on real estate, often buying properties worth billions of Korean won, and usually paying in full.

This is a big business opportunity.

"Hello, we've spoken on the phone before." Mingyan had done a lot of research for buying a house; searching online was only one aspect, but there were some things he needed to consult with professionals about.

"Yes, I have listed some properties that you might be interested in, as you requested." The agent immediately handed over several documents, one for each of the three people: "First is Signiel Residences, a high-end serviced apartment located on floors 42-71 of Lotte World Tower. The building has a full range of entertainment facilities and also provides six-star hotel-level services."

The price is roughly around 5 billion Korean won.

And this one, MARK HILLS, has a great location with views of Namsan Mountain, the Han River, and Bukhansan Mountain. It's currently priced at around 23 billion won.

There's also the SK Apelbaum in Samseong-dong. Due to its design, the higher the floor, the more expensive it is. The top floor, the 17th floor, costs around 5 billion won, while the third and fourth floors only cost 3 billion won.

The agent introduced several luxury properties in one go, with prices ranging from 5 billion to 2 billion, which is about 20 million to 10 million RMB.

While Mingyan was still relatively calm, Yoo Jeongyeon and Kim Minjung were already stunned by the sheer number of billions.

After seeing housing prices, money seems to have lost its value.

"Jingyan, where do you plan to buy a house in the future?" Mingyan asked with a smile, taking a sip of coffee.

"I...I think I'll earn money for another two years." Yoo Jeongyeon wasn't exactly losing confidence, after all, TWICE's earning power was also terrifying: "I'll buy it then."

Given the group's current activity level, even if she bought it, she wouldn't have time to live there.

"Let's think about it first. It's only a matter of two or three years anyway."

Twice not only has high popularity, but the group's comebacks are also very strong, and their earning power is even more terrifying than normal.

Comebacks, concerts, merchandise, commercial performances, etc... on average, earning 2 billion Korean won a year is considered low.

Kim Minjung's gaze burned even brighter as she looked at the luxurious house in the picture. She thought that if she could debut, she could probably earn just as much money.

After all, there has never been a failed group launched by SM since the second generation of groups. Even F(X), which was known as an experimental group, was very successful at its peak.

Although Red Velvet isn't as popular as Twice, they've maintained their position as a top-tier girl group after three comebacks in 2017.

The achievements of their predecessors gave the little guy confidence.

I must debut, make a lot of money, and become as outstanding as my uncle!

"Mr. Ming, let me take you to see the property in person." The agent gave the three of them some time to discuss before suggesting they go to see the house.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing; some scenery can only be judged by seeing it with your own eyes.

Mingyan nodded; he was going to conduct an on-site inspection today.

Yu Dingyan's interest was finally piqued. Her second sister had a rather traditional view, and the first thing she wanted to do after having money was to buy a house. Today's itinerary was exactly what she was thinking.

Mingyan glanced at the girl and teased her with a smile, "Jingyan, you should smile more. Why do you always have such a serious face when you're so pretty?"

"I can't smile when I see you."

"You don't like handsome guys?"

"Pah, narcissism."

The two of them were bickering behind Kim Min-jung's back, since they couldn't let their on-screen banter become real.

"Mr. Ming, look, this house has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. If you have children in the future, the space will be just right..."
